Yes, end of this stage was a good chance for us to understand the shorter final drive on the Hyundais. You could clearly hear them hitting the rev limiter 200m before the flying finish. The Toyotas seemed to still be accelerating there while the Fords weren't accelerating and in no danger of hitting their limiter.

Why the hell they show in WRC2 only Lappi and Gryazin and not Mikkelsen? They didnt realised that this three drivers are fighting for win?

Mikkelsen doesn't seem to be able to match the speed of Lappi, or he doesn't want to take the extra risks

noticed that Gryazin and his co-driver can't drive under Russian flag.. only (Russian Athletics Federation). that thing should stay in other sports, where doping is a problem..

I think Lappi is a bit faster driver on the very fast stuff and he got a "big" lead from yesterday. Originally Posted by wwbroe
